Celebrity Spending Sprees: Britney Spears & Victoria Beckham

Pin It

BRITNEY SPEARS

The Princess of Pop has an estimated £100 million in the bank and she shops when she’s depressed.

‘I can be in the dump of dumpsters and go buy a pair of new shoes, and then it’s okay,’ she says. ‘

Even if it’s just for the time being, for that moment it’s what I need.’

Like all girls, Ms Spears has her favourite labels ‘I like Bebe, Armani Exchange, and Rampage is really cool and cheap’ and she is also known to shop at The Gap.

She bought a $20,000 bed from Domaine – and a $4.5 million estate for her mother in Kentwood, LA.

She can even spend $3000 in about 30 minutes, but never acts like a diva while she does it.

VICTORIA BECKHAM

Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girl is believed to spend £100,000 a year on her wardrobe, and has turned shopping into her main occupation.

‘I can’t help it,’ she says. ‘When I see something I like, I buy it in every colour and I buy shoes in every colour to match, as well as handbags. If I could, I’d go shopping every single day. I’m definitely a shopaholic.’

After splashing out £8.5 million in her first year of married life, Posh announced she was giving up designer labels – but it wasn’t long before she crept back into Harvey Nicks.

One marathon binge involved Victoria spending five hours raiding some of the most expensive stores in Los Angeles. She spent an hour in traffic before emerging with her first purchases.

Then she crammed two more shopping bags with dresses, tops and trousers at hip store Rampage, before moving on to Foot Locker for some upmarket trainers.

Next she bought a $150 bikini at Canyon Beachware before hitting Diesel and DKNY.

The entire haul – which will join her £2,500 Gucci catsuit, her £1,600 Gucci jacket and her horde of shoes which have never even left the box in her bulging closets – was estimated to have cost at least £5,000.
